Thoughts

Filed in Reno 2006

I am really sick of worknig on motorcycles. I am supposed to be a writer,not a mechanic. I hate mechanics )(not the people). I hate the fiddliness and gruntworkiness and sheer effort and time-sonsumingness of it. And I hate this supid web tv thing that keeps eating my letters and putting the cursor in random places that bear no resemblance to where I clicked.

One solution: new bike with warranty. Uh-huh. Ain’t gonna happen unless I pay for it myself. Apparently the universe would like to partially support my need to be a writer by saying “It ain’t gonna come easy, sister.” Apparently I am not special and will not get to write/publish one bok a year. Book. Bok is what chickens say.

When raven’s roads 2003 failed because of Arnie, I decided to do Raven’s Quest, visit all the state markers and leave a book at each one. Short tris, essay. TRIPS dammit! Maybe that is what I shall do this summer. I can probably still make it to Vegas for the wedding.

So, this self sufficiency thing sucks. I wanted to be able to do it on writing alnoe. That would require trips to generate books. I have learned or am learning or maybe more accurately the universe would like me to learn that planning i soverrated. But a part time job or a temp job might be in order. In N Out is hiring. There is always something. Might be time to start Raven’s Roads, the newsletter/magazine.
